As he spoke, Flameburst Commander brought up a camera feed. It came from a street camera, showing the area of the Spire where their T'au were active.
Hundreds of little figures in red Power Armor, carrying enormous radiation tanks on their backs and ray guns in their hands, were merrily spreading radiation.
The thick radiation guns they carried were connected to the tanks of radioactive material on their backs.
Whenever they planted a radiation gun against the ground, terrifying nuclear radiation spread outward, instantly turning everything within several kilometers into a radioactive death zone.
Huge swathes of T'au grew dizzy under the onslaught of radiation, collapsing to the ground and vomiting until they died.
In that single instant, hundreds upon thousands of T'au died from radiation.
Radiation also had a severe effect on electronics. The street camera's feed was already filled with static, and it clearly would not last much longer.
Before long, the intense radiation fried the camera, and the feed went black.
Flameburst Commander's broad face reappeared before the council members. His expression was cold as he said:
"Under the Ethereal Council's agreement, I request activation of the Wartime Protocol, with planetary command transferred to me. Who is in favor? Who is opposed!"
The moment he finished, Commander Fengxi shouted:
"I'm in favor! The enemy has already attacked. We need a truly iron-willed leader. To hell with the moderates and anyone still clinging to wishful thinking!"
With that, Commander Fengxi glared viciously at Leitu.
They now faced the destruction of their entire nation. Leitu temporarily suppressed his lovesick devotion. After casting a worried glance at Shui Rou, who had fallen into an existential daze, he said outright:
"I also agree to activate wartime command and transfer command of the entire planet to Flameburst Commander!"
